The decision to wed came nine years after they committed themselves to each other in a lavish ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall that was attended by Victoria Beckham and Helena Bonham Carter among other stars.

Last year’s ceremony took place next to a Damien Hirst altar, and featured their two sons as the ring bearers, with the gold bands attached to cuddly rabbit toys which they carried up the aisle.
